Feng Tang was already past his thirties and had long understood his father's good intentions.
At this moment, his father told him the truth, which made him sigh with emotion.
In the past, when his father visited the officials, he had never brought him along.
But today, he had brought him along to participate in such a solemn occasion.
This made Feng Tang feel a sense of excitement.
It seemed that his father had also acknowledged that the Emperor's brother-in-law was a Saint Monarch.
Moreover, the reason why his father let him show his face was that he was preparing to let him become an official.
Beijing.
Twenty miles away.
Zhu Qiyu's army could already see the looming walls of the capital.
At this moment, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart-he was finally back.
Moreover, he had returned with a victorious army.
Presumably, the civil and military officials and the citizens of the capital were already waiting at the ten-mile pavilion.
The generals beside him could not hide their excitement.
It could be said that this was the most glorious moment of their lives.
Following the new Great Ming Emperor, not only did the hundreds of thousands of troops not suffer any losses, they could even return with a great victory.
The moment of promotion and glory was about to arrive.
Presumably, the Cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel had already drawn up the list of rewards and were waiting for their return.
Among these people, Zhu Qiyu discovered a genius.
This young man had a calm expression. Although his eyes were filled with fervor, he was the most stable of the generals.
Zhu Qiyu was curious.
He asked General Fan Guang.
"Who is this person?"
Fan Guang looked at the direction the Emperor was pointing at and bowed.
"This person is Wu Xiang, a newly promoted guerrilla. He was originally a big-headed soldier. In the battle with the Wala Cang Lang tribe at the Purple Jing Pass, he killed 32 enemies.”
"After that, he led another five hundred cavalry to capture Yexian's son and killed over two thousand enemies.”
Zhu Qiyu's interest was piqued when he heard that, and his expression was filled with gratification.
"Not bad. I didn't expect that there would be so many talents in this northern expedition.”
It was really rare for this person to be able to make such a huge contribution from a big soldier.
Fan Guang smiled and said,""Actually, this guerilla Wu has some relationship with His Majesty.”
"Oh?" "Could it be…the Empress Dowager's nephew?"”
"Your Majesty is wise. He was the Empress Dowager's nephew, but his background was not too good. He was the son of a concubine.”
Zhu Qiyu listened to Fan Guang's introduction and said with a smile,""When I use talents, I don't look at their background. I only look at their character and talent.”
"Your Majesty is wise." Fan Guang complimented.
At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally, this Wu Xiang showed his face in front of His Majesty.
Fan Guang was different from Yu Qian. He recommended talents for the country and did not dare to recommend them directly.
Instead, he used such a tactful method.
For example, he could let her show her face in front of the emperor more often to make her look familiar.
When the time came, the Emperor would first think of these talents.
Of course, there was one thing in common, which was that the people recommended were all true talents with true character and talent.
At this moment, Zhu Qiyu waved at Wu Xiang.
"Wu guerilla."
Wu Xiang, who was riding on his warhorse, was frightened when he heard the Emperor's voice.
He hurriedly jumped off his horse.
"Your Majesty."
"No need to be so polite. In the future, when you take a break, go to the palace more often to speak to the Empress Dowager.”
Zhu Qiyu instructed with a smile.
When Wu Xiang heard this, he could not hide his excitement. His eyes were red."Yes, Your Majesty. When I return to the capital, I will bring my mother to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager.”
He was a bastard son of the Wu family's side branch, and his status in the family was extremely low.
Logically speaking, among the Wu family's children, it was not his turn to pay respects to the Empress Dowager in the palace.
However, the Emperor had graciously allowed him to do so.
It was undoubtedly to raise his status.
How could this not make him excited and happy?
All these years, they were an orphan and a widow.
But because of his identity, he was often ignored.
Now, he had finally won the emperor's favor with his military achievements and talent.
It could be predicted that the status of the mother and son in the Wu family would also undergo earth-shaking changes.
Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with his attitude.
Perhaps when he returned to the capital, he should promote two of the Wu clan's descendants to become the Imperial Palace's Jinyiwei.
This way, the Empress Dowager would be able to see her nephew often.
To the elders, this was undoubtedly a joyous matter.
Well, it's settled then.
When Zhu Qiyu led the army to the ten mile pavilion.
Chen Xun, Wang Zhi, Wang Wen, Shang Lu, and the rest of the officials had been waiting for a long time.
There were close to 100,000 people watching.
These people all had fervent eyes as they watched the triumphant army approach.
When they saw Zhu Qiyu clearly, the cabinet elders were so excited that they knelt on the ground.
The civil and military officials, as well as the surrounding commoners, all knelt on the ground.
They shouted "Long live" like a tsunami.
Zhu Qiyu looked at such a shocking scene and sighed with emotion. Presumably, that imperial brother had been in power for many years and had never seen such a scene.
The expressions of everyone present were filled with great respect for him.
This came from the bottom of his heart.
Zhu Qiyu rode his horse to the pavilion.
He jumped off his horse.
He stood on the steps of the pavilion and looked at the black mass of people.
"When I personally marched, I once said that I would not return to the court as long as Wala was not destroyed.”
"Today, I can proudly tell you that I did it.”
The thousands of people kneeling on the ground shouted " Long live!"
Da Ming's blood feud was finally avenged.
Da Ming's humiliation was washed away.
Big Ming's capital was saved.
More importantly, Da Ming's prestige had also risen once again.
And all of this was because of the new emperor of Ming Dynasty.
He was ordered to save Da Ming in a month's time.
Now that they had triumphed in the capital, how could the people not be excited?
They knelt down with the greatest courtesy to welcome this benevolent saint of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Qiyu helped the important officials up one by one.
the cabinet elders.
Six ministers, assistant ministers.
Song Bin, Marquis of Loyalty, Wu Yi, Governor of the Five Armies.
These people looked at this wise ruler who treated the wise and virtuous with great respect, and they were filled with indescribable emotions.
"It has been hard on all of you during the days of Zhen's expedition.”
Zhu Qiyu smiled and comforted them.
"We have only contributed a small amount of strength. How can we compare to Your Majesty's hard work?”
All the civil and military officials flattered.
Zhu Qiyu said to the officials.
"Everyone, in order to celebrate the extermination of Wala and the pacification of the border, I have decided to hold a reward ceremony. To comfort the brave soldiers of my Ming Dynasty.”
"Your Majesty is wise."
